CORRECTNESS OF NEWSPAPER REPORTS
DENIEp.-Mr, III. W.Hottel, Deputy Sheriff

reference to the arrest. imprisonment and

"Most of the newspaper reports are al
most entirely devoid Of truth, aud evident

The h. Y. Commercial Adoertiser In
speaking Of Mahone's address says
'The address is not worth the space it
occupies. 1t is an ingenious analysis Of the
pretensions in the democratic platform
adopted at the recent convention at Roan-
oke. but no light is shed on the aims and
policy of what is called the republican par
ty in Virginia. Whatever value it has is
negative and destructive; it wholly fails to
offer anything affirmative or constructive.
And everybody knows how easy it is to
pick flaws and to find fault

SPECTATOR AND GENERAL ADVERTI
Ex-Goy. W. E. Cameron on Mah0ne's Ad'
dress.

We pnblish in this issue Ex-Gov. Cam
eron's views of the address issued by Ma
hone in review of the Democratic platform.
As we publish them in full, and as all Will
read them, and as they speak for them
selves it is useless to comment upon them.
He exposes the arrogant Bossism OF Ma
hone, and shows that he does not allow bne
members of his party even the privilege Oh
organizing themselves and selecting their
party officials in their own neighborhoods,
and says that "it is too large price to pay
even for the privilege of opposing Virginia
Democracy to submit all individual option
and intelligence and all the popular right OF
self.oovernment to the within, caprice ana
vanity of one person, two persons OF tnree
persons who may arrogate to themselves
the arbitration and discretion OF KepuDii-
canism in Virginia"
AS he truthfully says, there is nowhere
in the United States an organization so
autocratic as that which rests in the Exc
cntive Committee of the Virginia Republl-
can party.
He saws he does not think that any I'M
portance is to be attached to the address
which does not belong to such documents
generally, and that it is chiefly remarkaoie
for its absence of matter which it was hoped
and expected it would contain, especially
in regard to the public debt. The address
suggests no plan for the settlement OF the
debt question. Whilst it criticises the &C
ton of the Democratic party generally, 1T
does not state what the Republicans would
do if entrusted with control.
!. AS the Salem Register says, mot pledge
or promise is made; not principle is adj
vocated, and we predict that it will be as
barren in results as it is lacking in the prin-
ciples which should constitute an address
from, or the platform Of great party. In
its bitter and jealous references to Gov. Lee
the ear-marks of Hon. John S. Wise are
plainly discernable, but they are harmless,
since it is known that he yet feels sore over
the squelching defeat which he suffered in
his contest for the seat which Gov. Lee now
occupies. The people were prepared to see
just such paper, and if the Republicans
are satisfied with it, they will doubtless
find when the votes are counted in Novem
Der that majority of fair-minded Virgin
ians are not"

The Republicans will make a strong ei-
fort to carry Virginia, as is manifest from
what Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, an old
aud prominent Republican, says as follows:
81 am much interested in the outlook in
Virginia. There is the key to the whole
Republican position in the South. In mill
tary movements the capture of stragetic
point simpliies all subsequent maneuvres.
Virginia is the objective point in our polit-
ical man@uvres. Geographically, physical
ly, industrially. historically, and in fact in
every sense, Virginia is the empire Com
monwealth of the South. Her influence
will be paramount and her example will
have much to do with the solution Of that
knotty problem of the Solid South"

THE WILL OF THE PEOPLE BEPEArEn,
The result of this may be- nay. has been
that minority. under the lead Of the
local chairman, speaks the voice of the
party, and so the will Of the State Execu-
tive Committee is enforced while that Of
the people is defeated. And yet they
wonder that Repubicanism has not been
continuously victorious in Virginia since
1888. They wonder why freemen refuse
to be treated not as soldiers alone, but as
conscripts. They wonder why men WHO
are refused a voice in the decision of plans
and the choice of leaders should, when the
day Of battle comes, either brayely protest,
or else, for fear of helping Democracy, sulk
like Achilles in bis tent
The men who in 1879 in resistance to the
intolerance of the Conservative party took
issue with their kinsmep, their army COM
rades, their lifelong political associates, and
in defence of their right to freedom or po-
litical opinion inquired obloquy and de-
nunciatiop, did not so do to surrender
tamely to the despotism of a central power
within the party which they subsequently
reinforced. It is too large price to pay
even for the privilege of opposing Virginia
Democracy to submit all individual option
and intelligence and all the popular right
of self govsrImant to the whim, caprice,
and vanity of one person, two persons, or
three persons who may arrogate to them

was made into the abdomen Of her as

thoroughly atlrightcd, ran and alarmed

the scene OF the outrage they found that
Reese had escaped, going towardt the river.
They set out in search OF him, armed, and
swearing that they would not bring him
back alive. They followed him across the

Police Officer Bevcll made neat and
expert arrest yesterday OF negro muir
derer who killed his man in Mississippi.
Ed Lewis, 4 hard-ooking sinner, is the
worihy's name, aud he relates the particu-
lars with us much unconccrn rs ii his vic
tim had been arattesnakc. lie was brak-
ing on gravel train at the gravel pit n
short distance beyond Sardis, on the Mis-
sissippi & Tennessee railroad. About dark
one evening hunger began knawing his
inner man, but the substantials with which
to satisfy il were not forthcoming with suf-
ficicnt haste TO please. Accordingly he
went TO the camp kitchen with crowd Of
his fellows, and complained in tones which
were not calculated TO put the cook and
his assistants in good humor. The sec
ond cook made gruT reply and closed the
kitchen window. Come on, boys"
said Lewis, ''lets pull open the
window, 90 in and get our supper" They
made rush, Lewis in front, and had
pulled the window open, when the second
cook, a negro named Henry, met them
with q pot OF boiling coffee, This he
threw in the face Of Lewis, who stepped
back, drew his pistol and fired one shot.
1t took effect in lIcnry's head, producing
almost instantaneous death. Without
waiting to learn the result Of his reckless.
ness Lewis skipped. lie went direct TO
New Orleans, where he has been working
steadily ever since until n day or two
since, when lac quit and came TO Memphis.
A position had been given him hauling
cotton in the big shed on lower Main
street, where he WIS engaged when officer
Bcycll swooped down upon him. lie will
be taken TO Pamela county, Miss, for trial.
